I'm having a hard time setting this problem up: A trapezoid has height h. One base is 4 units shorter than the height. The other base is 5 times longer than the height. Write a polynomial for the area of the trapezoid. @Mathematics

OpenStudy (anonymous):

area of trapezoid = 1/2 X h X (base1 + base2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/2 X h X [(h-4)+(h X 5)]
